THE RUMBLING OF VESUVTTS, as briefly noted by cable, appears to have created a great panic among the dwellers about the mountain. The earthquake shocks which always precede an eruption caused the peo- ple of Naples to fly from their hoases in tver- ror. Boxes were purchased and jewels were packed, and in some cases, it 1S said, even articles of dress. All that was most precious was In readiness to be carried off; and, says a journalist, one lady sent off her par: t, to be restored if demanded, or bequeathed to ber friends if she herself was buried under the ruins of Naples. This general apprehen- sion Was A most exag: gerated and unneces- sary character; but the gpd forget the horrors of 1857, when rsons were 0 destroyed. In Salerno the people were in a state of fanatical madness. All rushed to the Cathedral and insisted on bringing out the statue of the and on the bells ae saint, St. ‘ing rupg—2 not uncom- ‘atthew, mon practice in a tempest. The clergy, how- eversin obedience to the civil authorities, would not it it; but public feeling was too strong to be resisted. so that the statue was carried off on the shoulders of men. Wax tapers were seized, and, followed by mapy thousand persons, St. Matthew was borne in After a time, however, the procession through the streets. -ople were per- suaded that the Saint had little connection With Vesuvius, and St. Matthew was taken back to the Cathedral, and all returned to their homes. No serious disaster occurred anywhere except in St. Marco, where sev- eral houses were thrown down, and three persons buried. Many foreign visitors left Naples. anu it is feared that for the moment the trade of the season will be injured; but, with the almost certainty of an approaching eruption, crowds will probably come in. in 1807, the earthquake of December was fol- lowed very soon after by an eruption, for, 1f Vesuvius was not the center o! the recent movement, it is said to be more or less remotely connected with it. The activity of the mountain increases daily, and there 4 a general apprehension among the people that the mountain will soon be pouring dowa its streams of lava upon them.

How the Commune Works Russia, If one travels through the goveraments of Russia proper, from the Volga district to the extreme south, one ts driven to the conclu- sion that the condition of antry has in several respects, and material, become unquestionably worse. A greatpumber of them have been reduced to absolute poverty; drunkenness has become far more prevalent, the results of listless in- difference, unwillingness to work, an in- creasing discontent, brutal acts of destruc- tion and incendiarism. In the southwestern governments, and especialry in vbose of musa, Kursk, and Voronej, a day rarely passes but the sky is reddened by the flames ota burnt village. The reason is not in any peculiarities of tne Russian peasant’s acier, but chiefly in the unfavorabic position in which he has been placed by the new sys- tem of administration, which makes him de. pendent on the commune and on a number of officials whom he is obliged to pay out of his own pocket. The rural commane has un- limited power over both the person and property of the peasant, 60 that he has in reauty only changed his master. He is bound to pay a fixe sum to his former mas- ter as redemption money for the house in which he live; and the land on quite illusory by the’ circumstanc that the land which he cultivates for himself and his family, and for waich he mast pay, is not bis own, but the property of t mune. which may dispose of it at pl Thus Ivan, after deyoting all his care to the cultivation of ah eared land,may fint it taansferred by the commune to another peasant, while he gets in exchange a field perbaps not so well situated, or negligently cultivated. Nor is thisall. The commune is responsible for the payments due from the peasants; and if and of these fall into arrear those who are better off have to make up tue deficiency failing which the commune seizes their horses and cows. Another restriction on the personal liberty of the peasant in Rtussia is the right of the commune to refuse bima when he wishes to seek service away from his village. The grant of these passes often depends on the arbitrary will of a clerk, who refuses it from motives of per- sonal hostility or requires a bribe before he will give it. It very often happens that ts who have obtained for St. Petersburg or Moscow are called back for some trifling reason, and if they refuse jo re- turn they are taken back by the police like common criminals, without even being given the opportunity of winding up their business in the town. Such are the circum- stances—without the slightest security for the produce of one’s labor, and in constant fear of what the next day may bring fortn— in which pot hundreds or thousands, bat millions of people live in Rassia.—{ Gas EcONOMIZING ON His OBITUARY.—It was & very sad woman that came into our sanc- tum the other day.

A clerk in the employ of a firm on the Boutevard Bonne-Nouvelle recently got married to @ Youngactress at one of the minor theaters. ‘he couple lived happily fora short time, but the husband eventually grew jealous of his wife's admirers on the silage. The other day the actress contracted to play for @ short lime at Abbeville. The husband objected to her leaving Paris, but she persisted, and started on her journe; The man's suspi- cions being aroused, he followed her, and on arriving at Abbeville discovered his wife in the society of an officer. He at once stabbed ber to death with a dagger, and then gave himself into custody. The second drama is —— from @ town in the Sarthe, but in this case it was not the guilty woman, but her paramour, who paid the penalty of the crime. A farmer, named Desnos, on return- ing home suddenly from mass, found his wife in criminal conversation with a neighbor named Froger. A fearful struggle followed between the two men. Desnos at jength got Froger down op the ground, and smasbed bisskull with a heavy piece of wood wh! he bad snatched from the ran away The farmer at once informed the police of what be bad done.
